academy tryouts
U7 to High School Boys & Girls
We hold our large yearly tryouts to select teams for league and some tournament play. Players who accept an offer are guaranteed a roster spot for November – July at tryouts.
A supplemental tryout is held to fill roster spots. In the summer months, we might evaluate other players who might want to join our program for the months of June and July. Returning players do not need to attend this tryout.
Offers will be sent to the email address used when registering for tryouts within 2 weeks of the tryout date. Offers are valid for 24 hours and must be accepted on the GSS website through PlayMetrics with a deposit.
There will be a Zoom meeting at the beginning of the season for Q&A. Time TBD.
GSF players may not play for another futsal club/team unless given express consent from a GSF Director. No GSF player can play for another futsal club/team against another GSF team in a tournament.
Teams will roster approximately 9 players (10 if there are two goalkeepers).
Teams are chosen by the tier listed below.
-
GSF Gold - 1st
-
GSF Green - 2nd
-
GSF Black - 3rd
We would like at least one parent volunteer to be a Team Admin for each team. Please email Andre@getsharpsoccer.com if you’re interested.
